THEY WILL ACT.
Governors of Coal Producing
States Agree to Arbitrate.
Pittsburg, Pa., May 30.—A
number of consumers and operators
of this region are making an effort
to have the governors of the coal
producing states to act as a board
of arbitration between the operators
and the miners. This course was
decided on after a private confer-ence
in this city, and telegrams were
sent to the governors of Pennsyl-vania,
Ohio, West Virginia, Indi
ana, Illinois and Iowa asking them
to form a board whose duties shall
be the peaceable and equitable solu
tion of the coal mining strikes
Favorable responses were received
from Governor Pattison, of Penn-sylvania;
McKinley of Ohio, Mat-thews,
of Indiana, and Jackson, of
Iowa. All expressed their willing-ness
to serve on such a board if re-quested.
Governor MaoCorkle, of
West Virginia, was absent. Gov-ernor
Altgeld, of Illinois, replied he
ffared little good could be accom
plished, a* the board could not com
pel submission on the part of the
operators or those who participated
in the strikes. For the miners Pat
rick McBride said he believed the
men were willing to have their case
adjudicated by the gentlemen
named.
To the Privates.
Richmond, Va., May 30.—The
monument to the memory of the
private soldiers and sailors of the
Confederacy was unveiled today
with appropriate services. The
shaft is seventy feet in height and is
located on Liberty Hill, just above
the old Libby prison. Eaoh south-ern
state is represented in the shaft
by an immense block of granite.
The oration was delivered by Rev.
Robert C. Cade, of St. Louis, who
served through the war and was
several times wounded.
Telegraphers Finish Work.
Denver, May 30.—The conven-tion
of Railway Telegraphers will
finish its work today and will ad-journ
tomorrow. The followers of
Chief Ramsay felt somewhat
chagrined at his defeat, but all
agreed to bury past differences and
work for the up-building of the
order.

A TERRIBLE WRECK
Whole Passenger Train
Derailed and Smashed.
The Debris Catches Fire—A Fearful Seene
of Suffering and Death.
Milwaukee, May 30.—A special
the Evening Wisconsin from Marsh-field,
Wis., says: The St. Paul
limited south-bound train on the
Wisconsin Central railroad, which
passed here at 1:03 a. m.,met with a
horrible accident, whioh has never
been equalled in North Wisconsin,
and adds another long list to the
victims of disasters of this kind.
The train was in charge of Con-doctor
Gaven, and consisted of
seven coaches and sleepers. It left
Abbottsford behind time, running
fifty miles an hour and struok a
defective split switch at Minnville,
a deserted station, derailing the en-tire
train and piling the engine and
cars in a heap of broken debris.
To add to the horror of the sitna-tion
the whole mass was soon in a
sheet of flames, whioh, mingled
with the groans and cries of the in-jured,
made a scene that chilled the
hearts of the bravest.
The victims who are dead are:
James Hubbard, engineer, of
Stevens’ Point.
George Gebhardt, fireman, of
Stevens’ Point.
John Bigelow, head brakeman, of
Stevens’ Point.
J. D. Russell, civil engineer, of
Stevens’ Point.
An aged man and woman whose
names are unknown. It is said they
were not on the train at St. Paul.
The injured are:
Henry Chester, of Marshfield,
legs and spine badly injured.
0. W. Bczely, news agent, of
Stevens’ Point, injured internally.
Arthur Tunice, of Uhioago, head
out and otherwise injured; will re
cover.
Dr. Weilzel, of Glidden, hurt in-ternally.
Fannie Burtle, of Springdale, 111.,
hand badly cut.
William Ryan, of Sturgeon Bay,
ribs broken and head out.
E. A. Twitohell, attorney at law,
Minneapolis, head out.
No. 3, north bound passenger,
passes No. 4 at this place, and as
soon as word was received of the
accident No. 3 went to the scene
with a number of physicians and
nurses from here. The dead and
wounded were brought back and the
depot was turned into a hospital,
where everything possible was done
to make the unfortunates comfort-able.
CALL FOR TROOPS.

Trains—Bridge Burned.
Columbus, O., May 30.—Sheriff
Riley, of Athens county, today
called on Governor McKinley for
troops to release the train seized by
the miners at Gloucester. The news
from Gloucester is meagre, but more

general and assistant adju-tant
general are at their respective
homes, on account of memorial
day.
Gloucester is at the junction of

A PARIS SENSATION.
Turpin Said to Have Sold the
Melinite to Germany.
Paris, May 30.—The most con-flioting
reports are in oironlation in
regard to a rumor that M. Turpin,
inventor of the Melinite, is said to
have sold his invention to Germany
for 5,000,000 francs. The inven-tion
is described as being calculated
to entirely change the whole method
of warfare, and the report of its
sale, true or untrue, has caused a
sensation in military and diplomatic
oiroles. One report describes the
new engine of warfare as consisting
of a mitrailleure.(rapid fire gun) and
shell adapted to the new description
